Do we understand our "true self", a self free from influences of work and family? Or is it possible to investigate such a true self through which we could better understand if we are extrovert or introvert, critical or accommodative, gregarious or unsociable?查看全文>>展开全文

We're more generous once we realize we do far better than villagers who don't have drinking water and travel to nearby city for medical treatments. We're more tolerant to others in our work once we realize our career achievement is the result of "second chance" given by others.展开全文
Privilege is a tough nut to crack as Marx observed. The bourgeois class initially didn't want to accept 8-hr work as it reduced profit. Some workers also opposed it once they became managers and earned more than others. So nobody likes to give up vested interest without a fight.展开全文

回复@藏野幽居咏鹤人: Thank you! //@藏野幽居咏鹤人: WIND: Hot air rises, cold air falls. The interchange between them > wind (turbulence). TURBULANCE: a good indicator of an interchange between opposing forces. See-> Fluid Dynamics.展开全文
When it rained, someone next to me would say "It's due to low pressure". So one day I decided to find out why: "Low pressure makes it easy for moisture to escape, forming droplets and cloud in the sky, and eventually becoming rain when droplets fall from the sky." How about wind?

How would you define "power communications"? Let me give you an example. This lady in the picture talked this gunman into surrendering his AK47 when he broke into a school. Her power communication saved as many children's lives as we could imagine.展开全文
Do you like your smile? I like mine. People do respond to it and smile back. Sometime even a stranger on the street responds to it as if I'm smiling at him or her. I'm not sure why. 展开全文

The Chinese habit of hypergamy--marrying a person of higher social status--was nicely documented by Yue Qian in his thesis at Ohio State Univ: 55% of university-educated Chinese men marry a less educated spouse, whereas only 32% of university-educated women do the same.转发 1评论 0
When a fool loses temper, he is proud of it, and brags about winning the shouting match. When a wise man loses his temper, he is ashamed of it, apologizes to people who are disturbed, and tries to conceal it.//@英语世界-文洁: 愚妄人的恼怒，立时显露。通达人能忍辱藏羞。箴言 12:16展开全文
